This is our second time at an OPH (two different locations) and we have yet to be disappointed. Our service was fabulous. She was attentive, friendly, and quick. The atmosphere was very diner like and we enjoyed the good warm coffee while we waited for our delicious meal! So to the food aspect: my partner got the Irish Omelette which had broccoli, corn beef hash, spinach, pepper jack cheese (his choice and we both agree it was a win). The omelette sounded overwhelming to me, but I am thankful my partner ordered it because it was good! He also ordered the English muffin. Which was also AMAZING! Now onto the western omelette, it was also wonderful. Eggs fluffy, a good amount of cheese (I picked cheddar). Everything was perfect. But the star of the show was my side of French toast. They bake the bread there for the French toast. It was cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of sweet. One slice was all I needed (...to break my diet ) but dang was it worth it. read more

Recently ordered takeout and tried their largely talked about Apple Pancake. It was SEVERELY UNDERWHELMING in appearance and half burnt , but somehow still tasted very good. I just can't get past what I ordered and seen others partake in versus what I got. The a la carte eggs and bacon were also very good. Eggs cooked as ordered and bacon was thick sliced and well done NOT burnt. Also ordered Strawberry Pancakes and there were NO Strawberries inside, they were plain and provided a side of strawberries to use as a topping which is not what I ordered. I'd go back but they definitely owe me an Apple Pancake and Strawberry Pancakes done correctly on the house. read more

I had a nice first experience! We went at 11 on Sunday morning, and our table of 6 did not have to wait to be seated (they also have an online waitlist you can join!) I ordered scrambled eggs with cheddar, a side of bacon and rye toast, and a side (3) blueberry pancakes. The hot chocolate with a free refill for $3.40 was delicious on a cold snowy morning!They serve real maple syrup which I appreciate!! Everyone enjoyed their good, and our server Samantha was fantastic. The eggs and bacon were cold by the time they came out, but no complaints about anything else! I want to go back to try another one of their many pancake varieties read more

Went on a Saturday at like 10am only a 15 minute wait. I got chocolate chip pancakes, there was not chocolate inside the pancake, they were only a topping. At the other location they are inside, so that was a disappointment. The person I was with also got a coffee and never got a refill. Overall the food was fine, we just prefer the other locations. read more

Met my elderly mother here for breakfast and my husband and I got there first. They told us they would not seat us until our entire party was there. ( And there were a ton of tables available). I thought that was kind of ridiculous at a breakfast place. My husband and I just wanted to have a cup of coffee while we waited for my mom. Then after our waitress came and left to get us drinks, two other people came over at different times asking us if we wanted coffee etc... Very disorganized. It seemed like they didn't know whose table was whose. Everything took forever from getting the drinks, to getting the food, to getting the bill, etc. Food was OK but portions were just way too big and the kielbasa was greasy and fatty. At one point I really needed another napkin and our waitress could not be found. We were sitting right next to the hostess station so I asked the hostess if I could get a napkin and she simply said "no I don't have one" and turned away. It was unbelievable. Like she couldn't just go get me a napkin? I will absolutely never step foot in this place again. read more

The pancakes are delicious here! Unfortunately, we ordered our pancakes with extra chocolate chips (which somehow costs $1.80...) and were surprised to find barely any on the pancakes. Turns out they put them in a separate container, which meant the chocolate chips were not melted on the pancakes at all. This is the only time that has happened when I've ordered extra chocolate chips on my pancakes anywhere and seems very counterintuitive. The breakfast potatoes are yummy though! Unfortunately, ordering takeout here is very complicated. The online ordering site has glitches (for example, if you select no onions for the breakfast potatoes, it shows up as "onions" on the order summary and arrives with onions). To make it worse, there's no way to speak to a human being at the restaurant on the phone, so you have to physically go there to order and wait for your food there. Very frustrating. If you're not going to allow people to call your restaurant directly, the online ordering should be seamless, and it's not. It also doesn't allow for written customizations. They also consistently seem understaffed. Good food but just so complicated to order it for takeout sadly read more

Went for breakfast. I was so glad to be able to join the waitlist online in advance. We were seated promptly once our table was ready. I opted for a coffee but a lot of people were drinking orange juice, it looked really good. I ordered the veggie omelette and upgraded my pancakes to strawberry. The pancakes were perfect. My omelette was good too! Our server was really nice and had very cute tattoos. read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast/early lunch. That's the great thing about all day breakfast spots, it doesn't matter what time you're there, breakfast is always a good choice. When we walked in, it was a little busy but a lot of people were heading out. We sat down at our table and got water and menus. I ordered an orange juice which was delicious and tasted fresh squeezed. We gave our order and waited for our food. My friend ordered himself an omelet with pancakes while I ordered two eggs, sausage, and pancakes. We waited a pretty good amount before our food came out. We both blamed the omelet for taking too long jokingly but still didn't think it would be as long as it was. The food was delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were incredible and tasted so much better than any pancakes I have had lately. I love the vibes here too. It has that classic diner feel but just a bit elevated enough to make it feel modern. The staff and servers were great. We will definitely be back. read more

Came in for a super quick breakfast after Record Store Day, and we had a nice time! We came in on a super busy morning and were excited to be seated pretty quickly for how busy it was inside. Our server was super nice and attentive to our table as well as answering questions about the menu and rewards program as it was our first time there. The ambiance was defiantly lively and not a quiet breakfast experience so keep that in mind if that's what you are looking for! We didn't mind and thought it was a fun atmosphere. The food here I do have to say was expensive for breakfast food, check the menu photos for prices, and it was all pretty good. I got the bacon and eggs with three buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were fabulous! So golden and buttery, but the eggs and bacon were more standard fare. For $15 I would've hoped for better. read more

We walked in at 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning and we're seated right away surprisingly. Even though the restaurant was full, people kept moving in and out. We ordered a cinnamon apple pancake with sides of potatoes and bacon, and I was go by the size of the pancake (which is really a Dutch baby). The cinnamon, apple pancakes were delicious, as was the baking. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Everyone was dressed in Bill scare appropriately. The place was busy, and it was a little loud, but nothing unusual for a boisterous pregame crowd. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great brunch in Williamsville. read more

Visiting from out of town and one of my favorite spots to go is the pancake house. This time around The food was okay, but the sausage and potatoes I ordered did arrive to the table cold. The serving size of the home fries is a little disappointing for the price of over $4 for a literal toddler sized handful of potatoes and onions. The waitress did bring a fresh serving of potatoes. they were pretty good. Very friendly staff, clean dining area. read more

Great breakfast for a party of 8 during the week. We had to wait only a few minutes for the team to put some tables together before we were seated. The restaurant is easy to find and has parking on the side. If you are facing the building, parking is on the right side of the building. The restaurant is accessible though could be tight maneuvering through all of the tables & chairs on a busy day. Male/Female-specific bathrooms are also accessible and located down the back hallway. Our server took great care of us and got our drinks and food orders in quickly. She was efficient and checked on us for beverage refills regularly. A highlight of the meal was my nephew's blueberry crepes - he loved them - and the side of bacon was thick and well-prepared. My spinach and feta omelette was one of the best I've had, and I appreciate that the side of pancakes were NOT enormous. They were 5-6 inches in diameter - perfect size to go with an omelette so I was not overstuffed afterwards. We would definitely return when in the area! read more

What a great breakfast spot in Williamsville, NY. I'm so glad we tried this place, very busy restaurant, hostess are friendly, the waitstaff go above and beyond. Monique is amazing!!! I ordered pigs in a blanket, one guest ordered French toast, and another the buttermilk pancakes. They were delicious, covered in a bit too much powdered sugar for me. The next day we went had Monique again, what a doll! Crepes with strawberries and cream, French toast, eggs with turkey sausage, huge cheese omelet. Absolutely amazing! Coffee is so good and never empty coffee mugs...Bright and cheery decor, tables comfortable, dining room can be loud. We will definitely be back when in Williamsville! read more

We have been here many times the only thing that really changes are the prices. They seem to go up quite dramatically. $7.85 for 4 pieces of bacon seems a bit overpriced. Strawberry crepes were amazing as always. Out server Stacey I was incredible she stopped over many times to check on us. The food and service is always top notch just very pricey. Wait was about 20 minutes to be seated on a weekend. read more

This place does a great job of being exactly what it tries to be: No frills, comfort food in a family friendly setting. The portion sizes were generous and the staff keeps everything moving. We were there on a very busy Sunday morning and still didn't have to wait too long for anything. The dinning room was loud and full of Bills fans carbo-loading on game day. We had heard great things about the apple dutch boy, so my wife and I ordered that to share along with home fries and a plate of bacon. When the food came we were not disappointed! The Dutch baby was HUGE and so hot we had to pick it apart a bit before we could safely eat it, but it was worth the wait! This thing was decadent beyond belief, gooey, sweet, doughy, piled high with tart apples. And even with two adults eating we barely finished half of it. The bacon was also top notch, thick cut and chewy crisp. The only downside was that the home fries were loaded with onions to the point where they really overpowered not only that dish, but the meal until we set them aside. I would not get those again, but I highly recommend everything else! read more

Would give ZERO if I could. Have had several poor experiences here post-Covid and today was the last straw. We've been longtime customers and keep trying to come back and always leave with regret. From botched seating experiences with unnecessary long wait times, to poor service, to ridiculous wait times for food - the floor and kitchen have both gone incredibly down hill. There is NO leadership on the floor to resolve issues properly whenever we have had a problem. There are a few veteran servers left, and I don't know how they stay. Sadly will not be returning. read more

Food is great. Hostess has the worst attitude imaginable. Impersonal and makes you want to just walk right out the door. Came in and stood around waiting for her for 5 mins. A group of 3 women came in 5 minutes behind me and she put them on the wait list above me and never even made eye contact. Last time I will eat here unfortunately. read more

I've been coming here for 30+ years. It used to be GREAT, now it is below average. They clearly have had trouble hiring good staff over the years and the service (especially at the host stand) has deteriorated over the years. It's not just a one time experience, it's a time and time again thing. read more

Great food, great location, great service but disappointed that the coffee there is just boring yucky diner type coffee. Wish there were more coffee options like latte, cappuccino or at the very least flavored creamer. read more

I went to The Original Pancake House for late breakfast in Buffalo NY on my way between work in Rochester NY and a flight out of Buffalo. The place was still very busy on a Thursday morning around 10:45am and service was friendly and very good. Eggs over medium cooked perfectly with a little runny yolk but not in the range of over easy. Egg quality was better than average as seen by the yolk color. The bacon was also a better quality of thick (but not too thick) and crispiness, but still tender and very tasty. The pancakes were pretty good as well - golden, not overdone and not undercooked. Coffee was pretty good too. I would return again if in the area! read more

Good fast kitchen and waitresses, which is necessary given all the people wanting to eat here. I had a great 2 by 4 (2 scrambled eggs, 4 pancakes) and some OJ. Marnie loved the buckwheat pancakes (which she felt tasted better than expected) topped with fresh strawberries. read more

I had a wonderful experience here last weekend with my sister. She treated me for a sisters day out and along with the shopping and car concerts, we had brunch at Original Pancake House. I ordered the strawberry pancakes and a side of home fry potatoes. DELISH! The pancakes were light, fluffy and sweet, cooked to perfection. The homemade strawberry sauce to compliment the fresh strawberries was executed perfectly. Last but certainly not least was the perfectly cooked home fries that my sister and I agreed must've been made by a Spud PRO to achieve such crisp yet fluffy perfection!! read more

Ordered dutch baby to go. It was missing strawberries, whipped butter and powdered sugar. I got a bare pancake, lemon and puree.

I love the omelettes and pancakes here!! I think I've been ordering the same thing for 20 years. Omelette with cheese and peanut butter and strawberry jelly pancakes. The eggs are fluffy, cheesy and everything you could hope for in an omelette and the pancakes will knock your socks off. If you liked Pb&J as a kid(I obviously still do), this is a must try. The strawberry syrup is just the perfect topping for the peanut butter pancakes. As long as you are ok with sticky tables and little substitutions available, the service and the food will be worth the wetnaps. Ample seating, place can def get packed around breakfast time. Pro tip- dinner time is way less crowded and breakfast for dinner is just as delicious as breakfast for breakfast ;) read more

Large parking lot. I had the broccoli/cheese omelet. It was huge and very good. The broccoli was nicely al dente and even though the cheese was processed cheese food, it did not seem salty. The saltiness might have been cut by the fresh broccoli(not frozen and thawed! The side offered is either three pancakes or toast. I ordered the pancakes. These were also nice and hot with a dollop of whipped butter melting on top. read more

I recently went to the Main Street location and Tammy was my server it was a very upsetting experience to say the least!! Tammy was VERY rude when I had any questions about the menu! then our food came took a long time and was cold!! when I told Tammy she paused and rolled her eyes walking away from us!!! I then saw her walk to the back and be rude to one of the minority workers!!! I will NEVER EVER be back!!! I also heard they are infested with roaches!!!! read more

I LOVE sour dough pancakes but these tasted like rubbing alcohol which was extremely off putting. It is likely due to a bad or over fermented starter. The sides were expensive so I skipped those. I asked for banana in the pancakes and was denied (not a big deal but very strange). I did get seated and served quickly but unfortunately the food was not good. I won't be returning. read more

Absolutely avoid!! They have no clue what they are doing. Manager asked us two minutes after we sat down how everything was!!! The water hadn't even arrived went downhill from there.

I've got no complaints. A good old pancake house. I guess you could say the pancakes are a bit teeny but they do allow you to get the half portion for exactly half the price of the full portion, which felt so genuine...no scammy vibes! The whipped cream was homemade and delicious. A pricey 2 extra dollars but they give a strawberry so what can I say. I do think about these pancakes time to time so I gotta admit this was a great breakfast for dinner experience. read more

Big food, smaller prices, throw your diet out the window. This spot has been here longer than memory, located on the Main Street of Williamsville not far from the old mill. It has a late 1960s/70s vibe but the atmosphere isn't a wink to last century's heyday, it just hasn't been updated (you could say the same for the waitresses' uniforms). Food is good, filling, memorable mostly for its portion size though the side potato pancakes with sour cream were unexpectedly delicious. Though hungry, I didn't eat more than half my breakfast. Better-than-basic, fits the budget, reliably good- recommend. read more

The original Original Pancake house! Yup it's still there and nothing has changed except for the dividers between the booths are taller. The fresh orange juice machine has disappeared some where. Even though they still serve fresh squeezed orange juice , you just can't watch the oranges go through the machine one by one till they add up to a full small or large cup. They still make Dutch Babies, those delicious puffy soufflés with strawberry, lemon wedges, powdered sugar, butter and fresh strawberry sauce that manage to last two meals and you can only order when you are with a patient friend! And they are still delicious. Yes there are crepes and omelettes and Steele cut oats and English muffins and all the other goodies you either know and love or should know and love. The service is always busy and you still have to try to catch their attention for extra napkins. But they are still always cheerful and more than happy to get more coffee or Splenda for you. So why four stars? Well I'm no spring chicken and pancake house hasn't changed since I wore hip huggers!!! It really needs a face lift , a pick me up a new dress or new low rise jeans ! It's time to cheer the place up a bit. It's time. read more

Walking into this restaurant felt like stepping into a time warp--in the worst way possible. We were seated and I asked for hot water, which never arrived, even after I brought it to the manager's attention. Four of us were dining, yet only one person's food came out--and it was terrible. When I finally asked to speak to the manager about the poor service, she arrived with a condescending attitude. Interestingly, the rest of our food suddenly appeared right after I made that request. Unfortunately, it didn't get better. The bacon was undercooked, the pancakes had a strange aftertaste, and the omelette was a disaster, some vegetables were overcooked, others were raw, like they'd mixed leftovers with fresh ones. To top it off, another group who came in after us received all of their meals at the same time, hot and ready. Meanwhile, our experience felt completely disregarded. The manager showed no concern for the quality or timing of service. Definitely won't be returning. The only reason they have this star is because I can't give the the zero they deserve read more

We always drive by here and the wait is spilling out to the sidewalk, so we haven't stopped. Now that we've finally made it here, I can see what the fuss is all about. The interior is a very large open room, but the noise level isn't that bad. The staff was friendly and helpful. I decided to order the Dutch baby and was informed it's a 20 minute bake. I decided since it's not something you could order just anywhere, I'd take the wait. It was so worth it!! It's a large oven-baked pancake, served with lemon, powdered sugar and fresh strawberries. The texture in the middle is dense and creamy. I would go back just for that!! read more
